    5/5
    9/6/2024 | BayCare Verified Patient
    I was surprised at how well prepared he was for my visit when it comes to my history. I was there for one consultation, but he was able to speak to and ask questions about my history with Baycare. That definitely helped me relax. He was very straightforward with my issue and addressed possible future issues that he is willing to help with. I appreciate that. Its a good feeling knowing that I can build a relationship with and return to the same doctor for multiple issues, rather than being passed around each time. He was a great referral. I walked in embarrassed of my situation, and by the time I left the office he had changed my embarrassment to, Eh, it happens. Lets fix it. Thank you for that.
